Native-Bashing trends in Bollywood

I have noted a hugely divided opinion on PK. Some can't seem to get enough of it.

For some others, It seems to be a Pakistan loving endeavor of an iconoclastic mercenary without any real conviction or intellectual debate.

People do recognize that the film does seem to go the extra mile to reverentially and carefully ensure NOT trampling on the faith of other Religions of Peace and Love.

Some reviews:

It's undeniable that natives are asserting and realizing the light in which they have been portrayed by the missionaries and their urban aympathizers over years. And they are seeing through the sustained program they have been subjected, to the point that...they have been made to think in the way they were being subtly or overtly nudged by the popular media, information and cinema propaganda.

The way our public receives the film should be a good barometer to gauge the success of the Nehruvian project.
